Mountain View's reservoir at Graham Middle School
The City of Mountain View is winning awards for their partnership with Graham Middle School in a $20 million project that placed an 8mg (million gallon) emergency water reservoir on school property and topped it with a top-notch sports complex that includes an all-weather regulation track, two sports fields ( soccer/ football), a baseball diamond, and basketball and volleyball courts.
The engineering firm that completed this project, Infrastructure Engineering Corporation, is the same retained by the City of Menlo Park. Their website shows photos of the Mountain View project.
Indeed, at Menlo Park's public meeting on this project last week, nearly all of the example reservoirs shown in the display photos were beneath sports fields.
This creative partnership looks like a a win-win for the city of Mountain View, which now has a sizeable emergency reservoir, and the school, which now has what has to be one of the best middle school sports complexes around on the city's dime.

Kathy,
This is an excellent example of local government doing it right. It seems the Baseball and Soccer fields between Willow Oaks Park and Willow Oaks school would make a same winning combination for the city Menlo Park. I am sure that there are other winning combinations that ore sites not owned by the city.
